Today, we look at a Day 1 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation.”
Prayer: Creator God, may we set our heart on you and your kingdom rather than on worries of this world. For you are so great. You love and care for us even when we don’t deserve it. Amen. Reading: Luke 12:22-34 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I love this passage, and how it points out creation as a reminder not to worry! Reading this with campers will be a great opportunity to stop and look at the small beautiful details that God attends to in his creation. So much goes on in our day-to-day lives, there is no wonder we are often overwhelmed with worry. If we take some time to stop and be still (like at camp), it becomes easier to see all the ways the God provides. The way he provides for the trees with leaves that capture the sunlight, and for bees with all the clover in the field. Jesus reminds his disciples that if God provides for things like trees, how much more will he provide for his children. Set your heart on God’s kingdom rather than on worries! This summer I look forward to sharing stories with campers about how God provides for his people From Generation to Generation in the Bible, and reflecting on creation to see how God is still providing for us and the trees! --Anne Harshbarger
